Rejected petition Discuss vet fees
How can Vetrinarians profit off people's emotions and charge excessive fees in the time of the pet owners distress.
More details
Emergency vet fees costing £702 for a drip, blood test and scan with 5 hours care is ridiculous then charging £1500 to sterilise when any other time it would cost on average £100.
To charge excessive fees in the time of owners distress is so wrong, it's like blackmailing the owners in the time of need which is wrong.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The choice about what prices to charge is the responsibility of vets, not the Government or Parliament, so we're not sure what action you'd like the UK Government or Parliament to take.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
